Description

Two Noh actors face each other against a plain warm-beige ground: on the left a masked figure in an elaborately patterned blue, orange, and pale-green robe with a floral/bamboo motif, holding a fan and wearing an ornate hair ornament; on the right a seated figure in heavy black robes with white crest medallions and a tall black lacquered eboshi hat. The palette is restrained—indigo blues and rust orange against black and neutral tan—giving the scene a still, formal mood. Vertical Japanese text and a red seal appear in the upper left and lower right; color woodblock print, "Fujito," from the series "One Hundred Noh Dramas (Nogaku hyakuban)," by Tsukioka Kōgyo, 1893.
